Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Oplevelsen starter med en udforskning af Chinatown, hvor du vil komme til at nyde seværdighederne i Chinatown-kvarteret. Historier vil blive delt om dets historie, der fanger de tidlige kinesiske immigranters kampe, deres prøvelser og prøvelser med at få enderne til at mødes i et barskt kvarter fyldt med laster som opium, gambling, prostitution og død. Disse bygninger står stadig i dag. Gamle billeder vil blive vist, hvor du vil se den hurtige transformation af Singapores udvikling fra fortiden til i dag. Vi vil også besøge et hawkercenter og komme til at prøve lokalt populære kinesiske street food-køkkener fra Singapore, og samtidig opleve den lokale livsstil, der har eksisteret i de sidste årtier.
I Little India vil du blive bragt rundt i området, hvor farvernes liv fra gadeboder, der sælger frisk frugt og grøntsager, markeder med blomsterkranser, traditionelle tøjbutikker og røgelsesbutikker, vil charmere dine sanser. Det er på grund af disse handler og andre muligheder, der havde inspireret det tidlige indiske samfund til at flytte fra det oprindelige Little India nær den gamle strandpromenade, heroppe, hvor vandbøfler plejede at strejfe i det sumpede område. Vi vil besøge et kræmmermarked her og komme til at prøve en række pakistanske, nordindiske og indiske muslimske streetfood-køkkener og opleve den spændende livlighed i det indiske samfund, der spiser deres daglige måltider her.
Ovre ved det malaysiske kvarter i Kampong Glam vil vi udforske de gamle gamle gader. Du vil lære mere om dets folk og historie, især hvordan dette sted blev til, og at malaysiske kongelige plejede at regere øen. Bliv betaget af den storslåede Sultan-moske, der stadig tiltrækker muslimer fra hele verden, især i fasteperioden af Ramadanen, hvor grunden er forvandlet til pulserende gademarkeder. Herovre bliver du introduceret til en dessert i en selvstændigt drevet butik, og samtidig forundres du over de farverige graffitivægge, der er prydet overalt i kvarterets butikshuse.

Gerry was an excellent guide and very passionate about the history and food of Singapore. Gerry only takes small groups that makes it a very personal experience
This was our fourth food tour in Asia in the last 2 weeks (the other 3 were private food tours through Japan) and this was by far, the best. Tried food we would have never tried on my own. Saw places and learned a lot about Singaporean history (the good and bad), so interesting. Gerry was friendly, organized, on time, entertaining, and truly loved his community and culture. So much delicious food. A definite must do at beginning of your stay as he explained so much more than just food.
We had a great private tour with Gerry. We were traveling with three little kids, including a baby, and he made it a fun and manageable experience for all! He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which was really convenient. We had a feast in Chinatown and enjoyed meeting some of the locals. He provided a lot of interesting facts and history along the way, even getting the little ones engaged and asking questions. Glad we found this tour and would recommend!
Gerry was an exceptional guide, very attentive, and interactive. Food was abundant tasty and as much as we could eat! Gerry provided history, photos and engages the whole family to make it a enriching food tour.
Well worth the price and time commitment, we loved the whole experience with Gerry and other tour attendees learning about systems in Singapore, including hawker markets, history of the country, social cohesion, housing, health, education, and more.
Excellent experience with a very friendly, helpful and informative guide. I have had many food tours worldwide and Gerry definitely raised the bar. The food selection was a perfect display of the diversity in Singapore and the vibe was unforgettable. Do not hesitate to take this tour
This is a very worthwhile tour blending history with food tasting. Be warned, don't eat too much prior!!
Gerry was exceptional in every way!!! He knew every aspect of Singapore and shared so many interesting facts. He has a fabulous personality and makes every attempt to make sure everyone has a great time.The food was out of this world! If you can only do one tour in Singapore, THIS IS THE ONE!! Highly recommend.
The food tour was the highlight of my trip. It serves extremely well in the beginning to orientate oneself in the diverse food culture of Singapore. Gerry has been a perfect guide, always chatty and funny, very interested in the group but also sharing insights into Singapore and his personal life. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Singapore.
We had a fantastic day with Gerry. We learned so much about Singapore - not just about the food but its history, culture, past and current practices and especially interesting to me was the effect that gentrification is exerting on the traditional ways of the ‘aunties & uncles’ in the hawker markets. Gerry is lots of fun and his care for fellow Singaporeans and foreign workers is very clear to see. If I had just wandered around Chinatown and Little India without him showing us the truly local flavour, rather than just tourist spots, I would have been disappointed. He’s very generous with food and drinks and you won’t need dinner that night.
